Happy Anniversary - Group Show At FokiaNou Art Space

FokiaNou Art Space is celebrating ten years of operation with a group exhibition entitled “Happy Anniversary”. A large group of Greek and foreign artists, who have held solo or two-person shows in the space, will participate with works in all media in a colorful and joyful birthday party.

FokiaNou Art Space began in 2014 as Fo Kia Nou 24/7, founded by the visual artist Blanka Amezkua as one of the first independent artist-run spaces in Athens. Having held a two-person exhibition there, which sealed their collaboration, Panagiotis Voulgaris and Mary Cox took over as directors and curators in the fall of 2016. Housed on the 7th floor of an old apartment in Pagrati, the space has held exhibitions, performances, workshops and other projects consistently throughout the last ten years as well as promoting cross-cultural collaboration between Greek and foreign artists. FokiaNou participated twice, in 2019 and 2023, in Supermarket, Stockholm Independent Art Fair, providing an opportunity for local artists to show their work internationally. Through its many open calls, such as the annual exhibition on the theme of Athens, the space has drawn a steady and growing community of artists and art enthusiasts. Join us in looking back on ten years of FokiaNou, which primarily celebrates the power of artists when they take matters into their own hands.
